In an incubator and kept at temperature

For ivy and degwood poisoning boil
wood ashes enough to make strong lye:,
wash the poisoned parts with this, and let

tons of this will generally effect cure.
Two OUNCES of soda dissolved in q
quart Of hot water will make ready and
useful solution for cleaning old painted
work preparatory to repainting. This mix

applied when warm, and the woodwork
afterwards washed with water to remove all
traces of soda.

took it every morning for week, then
omitted it for three days, and again went
